    Not a comparison.. Transitioning from X-Terra 705 TO Whites Spectra V3 ?

    Yes, I was thinking more along those lines of 'transitioning'. (Sorry, didn't read that rule at the top till too late). I bought some items the other day and they included a Whites catalogue which got me interested. Looks like this V3i is a decent bit of kit. Lots of innovative features and a...

    Fluro Golf T's

    Hi all, I always have trouble remembering or marking the spot to dig. By the time I've put the 705 down, I forget where the 'X' is! I bought a pack of fluro golf T's ....... Works a treat to mark the spot till I get my ProPointer and digging tool out. Danno:)

    Predator (Leshce)Tools ?

    Guys, I ordered some stuff from Predator (Lesche) Tools back in mid Dec and still haven't recieved the goods. (I put that down to the Xmas rush and busy period). But now I notice that their website has expired? I'm getting a little bit anxious that I might have just kissed a couple of hundred...

    Why the ETRAC ?

    Guys, I own a XTerra 705. I have just come into a little extra cash and can now afford a ETRAC (If I so wish). Just what is so fantastic about this detector ? Can I hunt Gold with it as well as the 705 ? Will it give me a better picture of what coins and relics are down there etc etc ? Why...

    Feeling 'Self Concious' ?

    Guys, I have been detecting for a few years and am pretty thick skinned, but lately I have noticed people (especially groups of youths) don't seem to 'Get' our hobby. Got jeered at last weekend and called a **** scab yesterday. Does anyone else ever get negative comments from the 'crowd' ...

    Is a PI machine really needed ?

    I just watched a youtube video of some guys prospecting in the Australian goldfields using the SD2000 and looked like a 4500. I noticed they were getting quite a few hits and a fair bit of gold for a weekends work. What I also noticed is that 100% of the gold they found was laying on top, or...

    GPS and Detecting

    Anyone here using a handheld GPS when hunting ? Do they interfere with each other? the detector signals (and the detector affects the GPS signal)? I just bought a Garmin Etrex Vista HCx to take prospecting. Any tips ? Danno:)

    Ipod style earphones & X-Terra?

    Guys, I found a 1/8" - 1/4" Audio Jack Adaptor amongst some of my old kit today that will enable me to use my good quality earbud (IPOD) earphones with my X-Terra 705. Has anyone else tried this? Any thoughts? Danno:)

    Good PinPointer?

    Hi guys, What is a good pinpointer to purchase? There used to be something called a SunProbe, XProbe? (or similar name) that worked in-line between the coil and control box on the Minelab Explorer. Is there any similar product for the X-Terra 705 ? Whatever you can recommend. Danno

    X-Terra Shaft Adjustment

    Guys, I love my new 705, but it appears that Minelab have overlooked one very important feature and that is Shaft Length Adjustment. (See my previous post regards aching arm). It seems the only way for anyone under 6ft to have a comfy fit to the X-Terra series is to take an angle grinder or...

    Aching Arm ?

    Evening all, I used a Bounty Hunter - Tracker IV for years with no problems. I recently bought a 705 and I am finding the 705 a tad heavy and awkward compared to the Tracker IV. Tried all the adjustments (what little adjustments there are) and still end up with bulgeing muscles and an aching...

    Replacement Shafts ?

    Hi all, I believe you can get after market, replacement shafts for the X-Terra series? Has anyone got any recommendations and reasons for using such an upgrade? If made of glass fibre, I guess it might help reduce background noise, be lighter, look sexier or whatever ? Cheers, Danno

    What could that have been ?

    Guys, Tried my 705 out for the first time today. Well, it was really just a first assembly and quick try out. I noise cancelled and ground balanced it mucking around in a friends backyard. I got some signals, then a really iffy sounding signal in the Coin/Treasure mode, that went absolutely...

    Travelling with and Storing a X-Terra

    Guys, How do most of you store and carry your X-Terra ? Do you normally break it down or carry it round assembled ? Are there any decent carry bags available that would allow it to be transported assembled? My 705 came with a bonus Minelab soft carry case, but its a hassel to break it apart...

    X-Terra Book ?

    What to do ?

    Guys, New here hi! I'm presently looking for a good metal detector and have narrowed it down to these 3 machines. X-Terra 705 Safari E-Trac Which one? I do enjoy a small amount of prospecting (only about 10%) of my overall detecting. Mostly want a great coin/treasure machine. The Xterra...
